Dollywood just did not register as someplace to find an interesting artistic image … or three. Lots of photos of friends, family and interesting people, but not colorful abstract art.
Making my way out of the park, hundreds of colorful umbrellas suspended above the walk caught my eye. There had to be an image here. Shooting straight up against the bright blue sky, the brilliant colors created a patchwork of color. Any inference to Dolly’s song “Coat of Many Colors” is accidental.
Looking back down, the shadows cast by the umbrellas were my next find. Capturing them without people’s feet was the biggest challenge. Black and white was my preferred processing style for this shot.
Once again, I learned that “You Just Never Know” when you will find a fun subject.
